Hi!
I'm looking for some help in fixing my screwup:
I've got C++ app which reads MDB database, using MFC CDatabase and
CRecordset derived classes. I had it working OK on development PC (Win
XP SP2) with MS Access 2000 installed (the app itself does not use MS
Access). I moved the app on another PC (also Win XP SP2) without MS
Access. After some poking around I've figured out that the app does not
work because DSN it is using was not available. So I created System DSN
for MS Access Database by hand and my app was working OK.
After that by silly mistake User DSN for MS Access Database was created
on the development PC (the one with existing and working MS Access).
This upset performance of database access very badly - it takes very
long time to read and move through the records.
I've (1) unrolled XP to earlier date, (2) reinstalled MS Access - still
have the problem.
MS Access itself seems to be OK, no noticeable degradation of speed,
but CDatabase.Open and ExecuteSQL, CRecordset::Mov eFirst MoveNext, etc
take very long time. It also looks like increased disk activity during
those operations.
So, any hints on what's going on and how stop it from going on like
that?
Many thanks

You could check the Advanced parameters in the ODBC setup.
Or you could extract the registry entries and compare them between the two
computers. To do this, open RegEdit and look at the keys for:
[HKEY_CURRENT_US ER\SOFTWARE\ODB C\ODBC.INI\Your OdbcDsN]
if it is a User DSN,
or
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\OD BC\ODBC.INI\You rOdbcDsN]
if it is a System DSN.
You can use RegEdit File Export to save text files for these keys and
compare the results.
If you have both User and System DSN, the User DSN wins, when you connect in
C++ using ODBC.
One parameter to check is buffer size, located at:
[HKEY_CURRENT_US ER\SOFTWARE\ODB C\ODBC.INI\Your OdbcDsN\Engines \Jet]
"MaxBufferSize" =dword:00008000 ; or whatever size you want

Did you accidentally turn SQL logging on for the DSN?
Sheesh, this could be it! As a matter of fact I do have it on at the
moment - trying to figure out what's wrong. I'll check this first thing
tomorrow when I get back to the PC in question!
Logging would slow down all DB operations for sure, so this is a very
good guess!!!
Many thanks

Thanks, Steve - i'll verify this as soon as I'm back to work tomorrow!
BTW, Is there any way to check and create DSNs programmaticall y (I had
a cursory look only and could not find anything yet)?

Can't you do DSN-less connections? Google the term.

You can directly write the ODBC registry entries using standard Windows API
from C++. Or you can write to the registry in your installer program (I
recommend InnoSetup).
Or, you can use RegEdit File Export to create a .reg file, fix it up the way
you want it in Notepad, and then in your C++ program Shell out to add the
..reg file. The Shell command would be something like:
RegEdit /S MyOdbcSetupl.Re g

Yep, the problem was in activating logging, rather than in DSN itself!
many thanks for your help

Cool! I was just thinking there might be some API like CreateDSN or
something. But distributing and importing reg file with installation is
OK
Thank you for your help

David,
thanks for the suggestions! As a matter of fact, I had no particular
preference, just used some code from example i saw somewhere and it
worked. But now, after you've mentioned the issue I can see that using
DSN might be somewhat limiting in my application and DSN-less
connection could be a bettter choice - I will investigate and try to
use DSN less connection
Many thanks

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
